Adventures of Madison, Ashlee Austin & Tyler!!!: March 2009

We had a nice relaxing weekend! Jason surprised me for my birthday with a quick getaway weekend in Daytona Beach!! We packed up the kid on Friday and jetted off! It was a VERY peaceful, slow trip! The weather could have been a little warmer, (Not what we would call swim weather) but the beach was BEAUTIFUL! and we had an awesome view right from our hotel room :) Madison was soo great, seriously on her best behavior. I was a little nervous about the sleeping arrangements (she sleeps alone, in her room, in the dark). Its kind of hard to mimick that in one big room, BUT she surprised us and did VERY WELL!! She had TONS of fun playing on the luggage cart, HIGHLIGHT for her I'm sure! As well as pushing and pulling our cooler from one end of the mini kitchen to the other! We got to walk on the beach, even drive on the beach which was real neat! Are we there yet????????? OK I'll just read this in the meantime! Mom! There's a freakin' bird on the porch!! Mommy & Madison IN THE WIND!! Care to take a stroll on the sand?? This is SOOO HIGH Dad!! How does Dad go Potty AND stick his fingers under the door???? I want to touch them!! LOL I can push this cooler all the way across the room! Mom, I think your shoe's should go here! Oohhh CURTAINS!! I can have fun behind here!! See my hand?? Madison LOVES BEEF-A-RONI!!! and THIS is what it look's like!!

Well we had beautiful weather this weekend so we decided to venture out to the beach for an "Official" Beach Day! We have gone for lunch and such but never with Madison to really sit in the sand and play for the day. It was a BIG HIT!! We even invited Grandma and she had tons of fun! Madison was an angel all day, EVEN WITH NO NAP!! She played with her buckets, ate the sand, walked in circles around the blanket....but she would NOT, NOT, NOT put her feet down in that wet sand or water! HA HA, NO WAY! We usually find her to be quite the adventurer but this was a NO WAY! She enjoyed watching the waves and water but was not interested in "touching" :) It was kinda nice actually for us because now that she's walking, we didnt have to worry about her running away, she was very content on our blanket :) Here are some pics from our Day!
Pretty Girl! Mmmm Shovel! There was NO WAY she was putting those feet down!! Madison & Grandma Dad, Where's my bucket??
SILLY TIME WITH MY PRECIOUS!

Well it's been a busy few weeks for Miss. Madison. Grandma's cousin was in from out of town so we went to dinner, and Mommy took Madison on a playdate with her friend Danielle- She had LOADS of fun!! We went to the park to swing on the swings over the weekend and had dinner at Grandma's house too!! Our BIGGEST development is probably the new use of UTENSIL'S!!! We have a pretty good handle on how they work but they do tend to fly to the floor or across the room every now and then! :) Madison is soooo ACTIVE these days, she really keeps us on our toes! You'll be happy to know she is doing MUCH better rocking and kissing the "baby" she plays with..She's growing (too fast) into such a BIG GIRL instead of our little baby girl..sniffle, sniffle! Hope everyone is having a nice week!!
